Car Forum / Honda Cars / September 20062007 CRV
I was looking at the new CRV and really like the rear door that opens upward rather than sideways. In general the vehicle looks more polished. I was however disappointed that they have kept the same engine. That engine while good for reliability still requires the expensive timing belt service. With the increase in vehicle weight and the 2.4L engine only managing 160 HP at a fairly high rpm. The performance numbers demonstrate its mediocre power. The CRV is under powered when compared to the others in its class i.e. Subaru, Toyota and the new Mitsubishi. Maybe next year they will upgrade ? >I was looking at the new CRV and really like the rear door that opens upward rather than sideways. In general the vehicle looks >more polished.

The 2.2L diesel that they use in the UK would be a smash hit here in the good old USA. 260 ftlbs of torque would really make the CRV jump off the line. Plus getting 30% better milage. Lynn Yes Lynn. Give me a 2.2 L Diesel or even a small 2.5-2.7 L V6 or I6 engine. > >I was looking at the new CRV and really like the rear door that > >opens upward rather than sideways.

I'm pretty sure that engine is chain-driven. I think you are right. I have the 2.4L in an '04 Accord, and its got a timing chain. >> I was looking at the new CRV and really like the rear door that opens >> upward rather than sideways.

It is the same engine that's been in an Accord since 2003. Even Honda mechanics don't know that it's a chain.... Scarry.
